Thanks for your reply Bruce.  I think it would be a help (it certainly
would have been for me) if the essence of your reply is added as a note to
the hicolor-icon-theme page in the book.  As an adjunct to this, and from
my discussion with Ken, it's clear that not all package build activity
(creating/writing to directories) is recorded in the book, but maybe that
would make the book too dense.  I'd be interested in your view.
